You are right in one sense, this does have to do with upbringing, the upbringing of the tormentor, not the victim. The victim was just that, A VICTIM. It has nothing to do with whether she loved herself or felt unconditional love from parents. I know for a fact that she did because I am Eden Hope's aunt. This has to do with being tormented by your PEERS on a daily basis. This has to do with social networking sites which make it impossible to get away from the torment.

Please, if you are being bullied, tell your parents, tell your minister, a teacher, a school councelor, the principle, or the media. Tell anyone who will listen. If you are the children who bullied by niece or anyone else, let this be a lesson to you. What you are doing hurts physically and emotionally.

I tried to commit suicide myself and i came from a loving supportive family. My daughter commited suicide herself not a year ago at the age of 16. Not because her family didnt love her. I moved her from the school she was being bullied at because the school refused to take action but they continued on facebook. She was told every day by me and her father how much we loved her and how proud we are of her and we loved her girlfriend like she was our own. But i came home from work to find her dead in her room.

I recently lost a much admired and well-loved friend to depression and suicide. <br />The mother of my daughter's friend, now a young woman, had a play date with my child one day twelve years ago and came home to learn that her mother had "died in her sleep." Truth: she hung herself in the child's absence. Bullying, lack of connection, abuse, the abduction of children in Africa to turn them into killing machines--I am ashamed at times to be human. It is heartbreaking and we must do all we can. Life is short--isn't that already obvious? Why do some make it hell on earth?Rivka Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13098786574892993612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071475947902999546.post-69305169167646176412012-03-10T20:07:26.628-05:002012-03-10T20:07:26.628-05:00Amen.

I wish I had been there, I wish you were here to tell MANY people about the pain you had been in. This is an epidemic that has to be stopped. Adults are just as guilty of bullying as young, unformed people (witness: the murder of a woman who unfriended someone on Facebook--WTF???). We need a nationwide--worldwide--movement that makes it a punishable crime to bully another human being, for any reason. And the parents of the miserable wretches who cause this kind of pain should be held accountable, too. I'm beyond angry about this. It is intolerable.Rivka Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13098786574892993612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071475947902999546.post-29894621322571833032012-03-10T19:16:48.762-05:002012-03-10T19:16:48.762-05:00It makes me sad to hear these things.. and it piss...It makes me sad to hear these things.. and it pisses me off about schools saing they take it seriously. My school says the same thing and what makes it ironic is the fact that our asst. Principal is one of THE MOST homophobic people I've ever met. Not even 2 weeks ago he threatened to kick my girlfriend and I out for being who we are. When my girlfriend went to the principal she did NOTHING.<br />The fact that they sit there, pushing their pencils, cramming down our throats - acceptance, respect, and equal treatment. Yet when one of their own goes against everything they turn their heads and act as if nothing occured.<br />Its proven that we, as the gay community, need to take things into our own hands and make the changes we're searching and yearning for.

"It gets better" is true, but sometimes it takes a long time and teens MUST be given shelter from the bullying in the form of safe adults and safe places. Those of us who want to help have to put our time, talent and money where our mouths are and give those kids the power to withstand the cruelty and the ignorance that they will find around them. My chorus is putting together a program that will include presentations in schools, lists of resources that are both local and on the internet, and a concert that will include high school choirs and stories of teen suicides as well as teen victories. I'll let you know how it goes.Gillie Waddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15833099755791144622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071475947902999546.post-21568391411398812122012-03-10T13:29:32.676-05:002012-03-10T13:29:32.676-05:00TAH DAH!!

Before Facebook and Twitter, a person could go home to escape the bullying at school. Now there is really no escaping it. They get online and there it is. Rumors spread like wildfire because all a kid has to do is post it as a status update. It is no coincidence that with the rise of social networking there has been a seeming rise in teen suicide. I absolutely think there is a correlation. Kids have always been mean to each other, but there is an anonymity that comes with the Internet. Somehow bad behavior is more acceptable if it's done over the Internet. When used correctly, there is nothing wrong with the cites. They allow for reconnecting with family find friends and helps build relationships and contacts with people from all over the world, but just like almost everything that started out with the best of intentions, there are people that took a good thing and turned it into something negative.Melissa's Fashon Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07723176547125169741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071475947902999546.post-88437926876548958172012-03-10T13:04:05.473-05:002012-03-10T13:04:05.473-05:00For everyone who is up in arms about this...
